I must admit, I was not sure what to expect.

I had initially suspected the ruins to be in orbit of the the planet you named, upon arrival however I found weaponry platforms still surprisingly active, scans suggested the ruins I sought lie within the planet's atmosphere. The duty I was beholden to was simple retrieval of xeno ruin samples. My eyes were met with a dark abyss filled with small slivers of light, and a complex larger than even some of Gallia's shipyards.

The beauty of the atmosphere alone reminded me of my home, though I must admit my opinion of the architecture was not changed. It is alien to eye, simple, but with inner complexities aplenty. I suppose I lack the taste required to appreciate such structures. I took 115 xeno relic samples into the Eidolon's hold before returning to Inverness. Where the Eidolon received an... interesting hail from one John Silverstone. I conversed with him for a time before retiring the Eidolon to her port.

I kept a small fragment of the ruins as you suggested, I will keep it with me until I can learn how to appreciate such a thing.
